Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Linde is the first mage to join the player's party in Book 2, joining after finishing chapter 2. Overall, she is a very effective offensive unit capable of easily ORKOing most enemies with moderate amounts of investment that gets useful staff utility when promoted with a Bishop Ring, which is an item that happens to have much better availability here than in her previous appearances. Two of the main factors that make Linde an effective mage are the tomes she comes with: Aura and Nosferatu. Her high Spd growth is key in allowing Linde to double with these tomes considering that they are pretty heavy while enemies are generally very slow, which makes the benchmarks easy to reach. At base she has an effective speed of 2 with Aura which means that she's only one Spd proc away from doubling enemies with 0 AS (which is actually one of the most important AS benchmarks in the game) using its massive 20 might. After gaining one point of Spd she can utilize her Aura tome to double bulky enemies such as the promoted Generals in chapter 8, ORKOing them, and dragons such as the Flying, Fire and Ice Dragons that are prominent in chapters 11 to 14. In addition to that, she also has access to tomes such as Shaver, Blizzard and Elfire (tha latter two can be bought in the chapter 9 vendor) which act as effective weaponry against the aforementioned dragons with Elfire in particular being very effective against Ice Dragons since it has an effective might of 27 against them which is enough to ORKO regardless of how much Str she (or any other mage) has.

Nosferatu is also an interesting option for Linde since it is able to deal damage to the enemies while healing off the damage she takes from them, making up for her paltry durability. Nosferatu ties with Excalibur, Thoron and Starlight for the tome with second highest might in the game but has a weight of 10, which imposes much higher speed benchmarks compared to Aura and also makes her have a maximum of 10 AS while wielding it. She needs to level up her speed five times before being able to double the slowest of enemies with it which makes it a tome without much use during the early stages of of the game. For the second half of the game, however, Linde should have enough speed to double many enemy types with it such as Paladins, Horsemen and Generals which are featured in chapters such as 15, 18 and 19. Nosferatu strats are a very safe way to deal with large enemy groups in the late game and she can do it with infinite durability while wielding the Starsphere, giving them value. This strategy is at its most effective when Linde can actually ORKO her targets, however, and since Linde's combination of 2 base and 20% Str growth is actually liable to not ORKO Paladins because they have 6 Res it is advisable to give her star shards that boost her Str (Leo, Gemini, Scorpio) or the chapter 11 Power Ring if the player wishes to make heavy use of Nosferatu. Another good thing about Linde is her combination of a decent Wlv of 9 with a growth of 70% which when combined with her ability to get EXP via her good combat makes her likely to be your first magic unit to reach the required 20 Wlv to use the powerful Again staff. Since her Str is not the best, as was previously noted, she can be a bit reliant on her Aura tome. Fortunately, the Hammerne is obtained very early in chapter 5 which gives the player the option to repair Aura, allowing Linde to spam it more liberally.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Linde joins in chapter 11 as a level 1 mage. As such her bases are atrocious for this part of the game and she'll likely be one shot by every enemy in said chapter. Her growths in every area besides magic and luck are rather unimpressive as well. Luckily she comes with the Aura tome and as you're unlikely to have a female mage with a B rank in tomes for most of the game Linde has exclusive access to the Aura tome for a long time. The Aura tome not only has great might it also targets resistance which is low for most enemies in Shadow Dragon. However, at some point the Aura tome will run out and won't be used again until you get the Hammerne staff near the end of the game. She also comes with a D in tomes so she won't be able to use some of the more powerful tomes in the meantime without a fair bit of investment. Ultimately, since Linde has little uses besides Aura nuking it's hard to call her anything else besides a mediocre unit.

Analysis

This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience.

Great availability, one of the higher personal speed growths in the game and instant access to the Aura and Nosferatu tomes make Linde a good option for an offensive magic unit in New Mystery of the Emblem. While the fact that enemies have gotten substantial boosts to their speed and power gives Linde a harder time at first compared to her Book 2 incarnation, she still manages to have good uses both short term and long term. In Maniac and Lunatic enemies hit really hard which makes the ability to hit them at range appreciated and Linde deals over 20 damage on them, helping minimize damage received by her allies and also allowing her to finish off enemies easily when looking for opportunities to get EXP. Her offensive capabilities get a huge boost when she reaches the Spd benchmarks to double, allowing her to help out against enemies that she can double such as Ice Dragons, which she can ORKO with Aura without much difficulty even in the higher difficulty modes and which normally require the use of effective weaponry such as the Wyrmslayer or Dragonpike to ORKO. Later in the game, she can reclass into a Swordmaster when required to get a Spd cap of 30 (compared to the cap of 25 that the Sage class has) while maintaining access to ranged magic damage using Levin Swords, all while having 8 mov. Nosferatu is another useful asset that she has, it is very useful in breaking enemy formations provided that she has the right combination of Mag, HP and Spd.

Linde is not without some jarring weaknesses, however. She has extremely low Def thanks to her base and because the mage class limits her to a measly 5% growth and her HP is below average, making her a glass canon. In Lunatic enemies wield silver weapons from chapter 1 and onwards which exploits her low defensive parameters by getting her OHKO'd at first although in Maniac she can survive an attack from most enemies thanks to them wielding steel weapons instead. While the +6 HP bonus that she gets when promoting into a Sage is helpful, she basically demands an Angelic Robe to be used on her to perform well in the higher difficulty modes since enemies upgrade to forged silver weapons later on anyways. She can definitely make good use of it with Nosferatu, but it is still important to mention how much she needs it. Her Mag is also a bit shaky, she has a low base and personal 10% growth (for a total of 40% growth as a Mage and 30% as a Sage or Bishop), which is pretty average and makes her somewhat vulnerable to the whims of the RNG. This weakness is less worrying thanks to the existence of multiple Mag-boosting star shards (Capricorn, Gemini, Aquarius) that can combine together to grant her a total of +4 in this stat while they are available. In addition to this, the player gets a total of 3 Spirit Dusts during the game which can be argued to be best used on a single magic unit instead of being distributed among all your magic users. Since Swordmaster lowers Mag by 4 when reclassing from Sage, these Spirit Dusts are good for making the "Levin Sage" a strong option and she can perform the role well if she's being used as the player's main offensive magic unit. When taking NG+ into account, access to the Lunatic Boosters in the base shop is also very convenient to her since it allows the player to give her an early Angelic Robe or even early Spirit Dusts if the player is willing to make the investment. Overall, the nature of New Mystery as a game with enemies with high attacking power but mediocre defenses makes her flaw of being a glass canon easier to forgive than in other games with more Enemy Phase action. Aside from Swordmaster, other classes that can be useful for her are Bishop to get a higher staff rank at the cost of 2 points of magic, allowing earlier access to Physic staff utility and Cleric, which can allow her to get EXP quickly in maps where the player deems Linde to not be able to contribute much as a mage while getting some staff rank before promotion.

Fire Emblem Warriors

Role

Linde appears as a playable character in Fire Emblem Warriors through the game's Shadow Dragon downloadable content pack. As a downloadable content character that does not appear in the base game as an NPC, she has no presence in the main story; her History Mode map, Knorda Market, does feature her in a similar role to the original chapter from Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Shadow Dragon. During said History Mode map she disguises herself as a boy and ends up in the possession of a slave trader; she is rescued by the player. She is immediately playable upon purchase of the Shadow Dragon pack regardless of the events presented in the Knorda Market map.
